24、   If cars could drive themselves, what would the world be like? Imagine（设想）seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.

Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless（无人驾驶的）cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them. These cars are now still in the testing stages（阶段）.But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.

The cars already have many features（特点）allowing them to take over from drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park（停车）themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.

Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals（无线信号）, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.

The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent（阻止）these. However, some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies（技术）can also be mistakes.

【1】The main purpose of the first paragraph is to __________.

A.tell readers what self-driven cars look like B.tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic

C.get readers to pay attention to road safety D.make readers wonder about self-driven cars

【2】What does the underlined word "take over from" in Paragraph3 mean? __________.

A.direct the way for B.take the place of

C.work better than D.make use of

【3】Cars already have the following features EXCEPT __________.

A.parking itself B.controlling itself in dangerous situations

C.slowing itself down near an object D.avoiding car accidents 100%

【4】What might make the self-driven cars run safely according to the passage?

a. e-reading   b. wireless signals   c. cameras   d. GPS

A.a, b, c B.a, b, d C.b, c, d D.a, c, d

【5】What is the passage mainly about? __________.

A.Advantages of self-driven cars B.Different opinions on self-driven cars

C.Possibilities of self-driven cars D.Google's new technology-self-driven cars

25、   English is difficult to learn because it is so different 【1】 (介词) our mother tongue(母语). Also, we don’t have 【2】 (many) chance to speak English with foreigners or hear real English.

So the first important thing for us to do, I think, is to practise 【3】 (speak) English more both in and out of class. In class I listen to the teacher 【4】 (careful) and try my best to 【5】 (answer) the teacher’s questions in English. After class, I listen to the tapes and wonderful English songs. I often retell the texts in my own words. I always work hard at English and 【6】 (频度副词) give up.

Of course this is not enough. When I find something 【7】 (interest), I wrote it down 【8】 (介词) English. At first, I couldn’t write 【9】 (good), but with the help of my teacher, I have made great 【10】 (progress).
